These bath bombs were a whole lot of fun to make and super easy. You can customize it to your liking by choosing your preferred essential oil. I decided to use lavender because I’ve read it’s a great therapeutic agent that is used to help with relaxing and getting a good night’s sleep. This is definitely a great addition to the kiddos bedtime routine and they love watching them fizz as it releases it’s great aroma.
Here’s what you need!
makes 4 small bath bombs
2 TBS Baking Soda
1 TBS Cream of Tartar
Food Color or liquid Dye (you can find at any craft store)
½ teaspoon Essential Oil (lavender)
Spray Bottle of Water
Soap Mold or Ice Cube Tray
Add 2 TBS Baking Soda to bowl. Then add 1 TBS Cream of Tartar and ½ teaspoon lavender or Essential Oil. Next, add your food color. (I would suggest that if using food coloring to color these, make sure you use non-toxic vegetable based color. Safer for everyone, especially for children. Stir it up and add a couple of sprays of water and keep stirring. You want to get it where it is just sticking together without adding too much water. NOTE: Only add a couple of sprays of water at a time or your bombs will lose their fizz. Put your bath bombs in a soap mold or ice tray, and leave over night to dry out. NOTE: The amount this recipe makes all depends on how big your molds are. You can really make them as large or as small as you would like. You can make them the size of a baseball or the size of your thumbnail. you can double the recipe and make more than four at a time. I decided to make one batch at a time and change the colors during each of the batches.
In the morning your bath bombs will be ready to remove from the mold. When ready just drop your bomb in the bath you can watch it fizz as it releases its sent and colors your water! These bath bombs can stay good up to 1 year as long as they are stored in a dry, cool place that is out of the sun. ENJOY!!
